DEVICE AND METHOD OF APPLYING ELECTROLYTIC COATING TO OBJECT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C25D7/06 C25D17/10 C25D21/12 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises an electrolytic bath (10) with an electrolyte (12), the first DC source (16), at least, one soluble anode (14) that is, at least, partially, immersed in the electrolyte (12) and electroconductively connected to the positive pole (16), and, at least, one cathode terminal (20) connected to the negative pole of the first current source (16), the second DC source (24) configured to operate independently of the first current source (16) for regulating metal concentration in the electrolyte and leveling the difference between the anode and cathode current outputs. The cathode output (20) is electroconductively connected to the negative pole of the second DC source and, at least, one insoluble anode (22) is, at least, partially, immersed in the electrolyte (12) and electroconductively connected to the positive pole of the second DC source (24). Several soluble anodes 14 are provided, which, with insoluble anodes (22), have substantially the same dimensions, and the number of insoluble anodes is smaller than the number of soluble anodes, so that the effective total surface of all soluble anodes (14) is greater than the effective total surface of all insoluble anodes (22).

EFFECT: both current sources can be operated independently of each other to maintain the metal content in the electrolyte in a predetermined range.
